Category: Live Podcast Benny Shakes Things Up
I host a podcast called Benny Shakes Things Up, promoting disabled comedians from all over the world.
In 2021 I am looking to open this up to all artists and / or professionals with something to promote or a story to share, and although I am predominantly searching for disabled artists and professionals this podcast is to promote equality, therefore no one will be excluded.
So if you would like to get involved and join me on the podcast,or know of someone that would please email me at bennyshakes.cp@gmail.com
International Day of Persons With Disabilities
I am teaming up with One Place East & Laugh-Able to talk about all things disability to celebrate the International Day of Persons with disabilities 🎉
Hi my name is Isaac and I have disability called limb/pelvic hypo/aplasia which in short means I have no arms and short legs, I also have scoliosis which is the curvature of my spine. Even though I have this disability it hasn’t stopped me from doing what I can’t. Skydiving in Ohio, skiing in Geneva and most recently becoming the president of a outdoor sports club called Wheels and Wheelchairs where rollerbladers push wheelchair users in different places. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
I’m Saifur. I have a disability called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, also known as Brittle Bones. My impairment doesn’t doesn’t stop me from living my life to the fullest. I have an IT background and currently work for 3 organisations. I was a Games Maker at the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games which was one of the best experiences of my life. I love traveling to different countries, and my last holiday was Brazil earlier this year. No matter what disability you have, don’t let it stop you from living your dream. I go by my motto: Live Your Life to the Fullest!
